Re: [APML] Epson 4870 review

["Rodney @ Ryder Homestead" <ryderhome@bigpond.com>]

OK, so now I have two choices for my entry level scanner. Either the Minolta
DiMAGE Scan Dual III or the Epson 4870. Australian prices are about $890AUD
for the Minolta and aroun $850AUD for the Epson.

In the case of the Epson though, can one really expect a flat bed scanner to
also scan film/slide and do all of it better and at a cheaper price?????
